Stop

Lower Display
- Shows the present state of the motor, e.g.

7.3 Settings Panel
When the 'Settings' button on the GUI panel is clicked, the 'Settings' window is
displayed. This panel allows motor operation parameters such as move/jog velocities,
and stage/axis information to be modified. Note that all of these parameters have
programmable equivalents (refer to the
Kinesis Server helpfile
for further details.
7.3.1 Persisting Settings to Hardware
Many of the parameters that can be set for the MLJ150 Stage can be stored
(persisted) within the unit itself, such that when the unit is next powered up these
settings are applied automatically. This is particularly important when the driver is
being used manually in the absence of a PC and USB link. The Velocity Profile and
Jogging parameters described previously are good examples of settings that can be
altered and then persisted in the driver for use in absence of a PC. To save the
settings to hardware, check the ‘
Persist Settings to the Device’
checkbox before
clicking the ‘OK button.
Caution
The ‘Persist Settings’ functionality is provided to simplify use of the unit in the
absence of a PC. When the unit is connected to a PC and is operated via
KinesisUser, the default KinesisServer settings will be loaded at boot up, even
if the ‘Persist Settings’ option has been checked.
